Spitzer Proposal ID #259

Scientific paper
We propose herein a carefully controlled set of Spitzer MIPS time series observations of the newly discovered low mass eclipsing binary star GU Bootes. These observations will serve to characterize the MIPS-24 observing techniques of the spacecraft, precisely establishing the photometric repeatability of this instrument at the sub-percent level. A rapid execution of this proposal will serve to substantiate the previously announced GO-1 and upcoming GO-2 observations of extrasolar planet transits at similar levels of precision. The ancillary science return will be the first-ever long wavelength characterization of such an object's light curve, allowing for improved characterization of the primary and secondary component linear radii, in addition to other aspects of their surface morphology.
